truepennyAnother really lovely review of The Bone Key.
If I seem a little gobsmacked by the positive response to Booth--and I am gobsmacked--it's because way back in the day when I started writing Booth stories (in 2000: "Bringing Helena Back" was the second short story I ever finished successfully, "Letter from a Teddy Bear on Veterans' Day" being the first . . . unless it's the other way around: they're yoked in tandem in my head, so I'm not actually sure any longer), I vividly remember thinking, No one is ever going to buy these. No one is ever going to read them. No one is ever going to like them or understand what I'm trying to do with them. And I'm so happy to be mistaken I could just burst into song.
